Summary

Virat Kohli gets to 4,000-run mark, wins 13th Man of the Match award

On a day that marked a perfect homecoming for skipper MS Dhoni and an ideal beginning for a brand new stadium at Ranchi, Virat Kohli managed to make quite a few heads turn too. The 24-year-old bounced back to form with a match-winning 77-run innings. In the process, he surpassed the 4,000-run mark in ODIs.

Thanks to his batting exploits, the right-hander was also adjudged Man of the Match – his 13th such award and second against England. Here are these and many more stats highlights from a very special match, both for Team India and the city of Ranchi:

Jharkhand State Cricket Association Stadium in Ranchi became India’s 42nd and world’s 82nd ODI ground. India has the most number of ODI grounds.

England’s total of 155 is their third lowest against India.

Virat Kohli, while on 49, completed his 4,000 runs in one-day internationals. He became the 12th Indian and 84th batsman in the world to accomplish this feat.

By taking 93 innings to complete his 4,000 runs Kohli became the second quickest in ODIs to reach this mark, after Viv Richards, who took 88 innings to do so. However, both Richards and Kohli reached the mark in same number of matches (96).

At 24 years 75 days, Kohli is the second youngest, after Sachin Tendulkar (22 years 359 days), to tally 4,000 runs in ODIs.

Kohli took 1615 days (from the day of his ODI debut) to reach the 4,000-run mark. Only Rahul Dravid (1453) and MS Dhoni (1500) have taken fewer days to accomplish this feat.

India won the match with 131 balls to spare – their biggest ever against England in terms of balls remaining. The previous best was with 123 balls to spare at Jaipur in 2006.
